TuE TWO WINGS.

The city Democracy after much squad
bling, as is generally the case before TIN
canvass is now in fair way to harmon
ize upon the sound principles Of the party
Certainly all true Democrats ought tC
understand that the JeGers0nan ptinci
Piles are the safeguards Of popular gov
eminent, and that it is in this BELIEF
that We so often sacrifice our individual
opinions and feelings TO what is the sures
plan to secure victory for victory il
safety and there is no real safety with
out it.
In Virginia this idea applies doublY
after the lessons we have had in mongre
politics, coalitions, and deals.
Now We suppose that Democrats who
feel The principles of their party are pre-
pared in the face Of a dangerous enemy
to make concessions
The concessions to be made in Rich
mond have been rendered by one faction
to which was credited spirit Of vindic
tive opposition that would only tolerate
members Of that faction as candidates
We understand that the Law and on
der League are content 10 vote for any
good candidates that the working men
put up, provided that they are not
Knights Of Labor
Now il is the turn of the knights of
Labor to say that they are ready 10 vote
for good candidates, provided they are
not member, of the League.
This is the situation, and the response
bility Of any break in the party must rest
where it properly belongs one thing is
certain, compromise or no compromise
and that is that everybody will be on the
lookout for any attempted coalition.

THE CONSTITUTIONS,

On September -, 1887, the draft Of the
Constitution Of the United States to
make "a more perfect Union was per
fecied and il was formally signed and
adopted on Monday, 18th September
The great charter of human political
freedom was not so entirely appreciated
at that time as to secure thoroughly
cordial endorsement, and some OF the
States delayed in ratifying it,
II has grown and been strengthened
with amendments for the fathers, as
great a. they were, did not forsee all
the developments Of the rapidly incress-
ing Republic
We are reminded now Of how the judi
cial power Of the Federal Government
has grown.
The civil war caused great stride to-
wards liberalization, but the idea ad-
vanced by judah p. Benjamin about
ter years ago is causing a still stronger
tendency in that direction
He declared that knowing the character
Of our Government, and approaching the
wisdom of its trainers, still we must adj
nit, that the new conditions resulting
from unhealthy disturbing elements Of
foreign growth, would necessilate a
stronger government.

fHE MORAL OF 4 GREAT TRIAL.

The Court Of Appeals of Illinois has
decided that the Anarchists must be exc
cuted on the nth of November
This has been long delay, and the
moral force of the conviction will be
somewhat weakened. for there never was
more atrocious crime, and the establish
meni OF the principle that the ploiters,
who melted the crime were guilty, though
they were not on the scene, was grea,
step towards the assertion of = law
against the system of organized assassi-
nation that threatened every big city in
the country. The civilized world looked
on with deep interest at the trial of the
Anarchists and when they were condemn
ed it was one of the greatest triumphs
Of law that las been achieved in our
history. II demonstrated tina, Repub-
lican government could preserve It's free
institutions on the principle of govern
ment by the people, for the people, and
still have power enough to crush viola
tions Of law, and in doing so to have the
approval Of the people.
Thus the line was drawn between free
dom and license, and the idea practically
and positively asserted that the citizens
rights as broad as justice can conceive,
are limited within proper consideration
for the rights OF others. This Is the
salient point in our politics, and it has
been decided in law.
1t only remains for the people 10 apply
the precedent Of that decision. In all
countries there must be wrongs perpe-
trated, but I'm righting those wrongs
Americans must never lose sight Of the
fact that we have legal remedies and
must not 60 beyond them.

benefit from a system that shifted the taxes
from the neighboring factories and other crea-
tions of labor on 10 the land of The nation, of
which their own farms were part. The
farmers are already tax-burdened class.
and one of them at Whitehall voiced the
general distrust when he said: "You will
tax and crush what is already crushed-the
farmer-and let the capitalists go free" II
was in vain that Mr.. George tried to explain
that taxing the land is taxing the man who
has special advantage, and that the taxes
that would fall upon the farmer would be
lar less than those put upon him to-day.
The farmers of Whitehall considered that a
bird in the hand was worth two in the bush.
Mr.. Georges converts have hitherto been
largely among people who have no birds in
their hands. but think they see some in the
bushes. When Mr.. George carries his crn-

Henry George and The Farne,s


Henry George has at last carried the doc
trine which he has preached with such an
parent success among the poorer people of
New York City, out among the farmers of
new YORK State. AT a meeting at White
nail he has squarely told the freeholders of
that region that he and his party propose
that taxes shall be upon land and upon moth
ing else, upon the ten acres of the poor
farmer as well as ON the lots of the wealthy
city landlord, while stocks and bonds, fine
furniture and the other advantages of the
rich over the poor shall be untouched by the
tax gatherer. Mr. George told them that he
favored this method of taxing land because
1t would allow the productions Of labor to go
untaxed. "Our opponents" he said, "are
accustomed to speak of this particular meas
ure as tax upon land. We do not propose
that there should be tax according to area.
we propose only to tax valuable land and
that according to its value" OF course
farmers, like every other class of practical
men, look upon question of this sort from
practical standpoint. When Mr.. Georpe
comes around and says 81 have plan here
that will make it much easier for Won to get
living" they look at the case practically IN
see whether the scheme really does promise
any advantage. They do not look at Mr.
Georges theory in the csptis ating and seduc-
tive form in which it is set forth in prog
ress and Poverty" They do not waste time
upon plan, however plausible it may seem,
hat requires as its very foundation much
changed condition of society both as regards
general con Jtitution and the intellects and
consciences of individual members. The
farmer looks at the question from the stand
point of his own farm. When Mr. George
finished speaking at Whitehall the farmers
present opened upon him fusilade Of ques-
t,ons. The spirit Of the audience as dis
closed by the attention paid to questions and
s answers s' SHOWED it was the judgment Of
'ne FARMERS that they would not get much

Ii Stain himself used the word wagon to de-
scribe the conveyance in which he drove
away the robbers, then that is evidence
enough to convict him of lying, for it is i'm
possible that with three feet of snow on the
ground the robbers could have arranged to
flee in wagon, and it is equally impossible
for Stain to forget what kind of a convey
ance was used. The name of the paper in
which the robbers first read the news of Bar
ron's death he might forget. because there
was nothing to specially impress that upon
his mind, but the kind of vehicle he waited
for the robbers in would be indelibly i'm
pressed upon his memory. But it is by no
means improbable that that wagon was sub
stituted by the reporter for the word team
which he used most Of the time, for the sake
of variation.
